Nicknames

Yes, we all have them and sometimes we can't live them down. I think that we have given these last two boys nicknames that they may or may not like when they get older. So now your wondering what these names are right? Well first the picture:

This is Square and Scratch.

Ok, now the story behind the names. 

James is Square. He acquired the name in this way. Our neighbor actually gave him this name. It is due to the fact that James is about the same width as he is tall. So, he is built like a square. 

Henry is Scratch. Why, well, I gave him this. I have had 8 children and he is the first one that I have seen do this......on a consistent basis. Henry actually scratches his head (with his fingernails I might add). I have never seen a child scratch like he does. 

So we have Square and Scratch, and it just sounds cute!
